BSPs configuration with multiple apps servers

Hi Masters,
This is regrarding configure ICM and BSPs on our production box with multiple application servers.
We have our production box in a cluster environment.
The central instance is dbciSAP and apps servers are sapaps2 thru sapaps6. The database is on shared disks. Whenever the central instance fails sapaps2 takes the control and become as dbciSAP but the main dbciSAP never become a application server when ever sapaps2 acts as dbciSAP. Since we have configured load balancing concept in production environment the users can login to system thru any application server. This is waht our environment.
As part of our production box to SAP 4.7 upgrade from 4.6C, we are asked to configure the environment to deploy BSPs. We have successfully configured and deployed the BSPs in our DEV and QAS system (Both are central instances with no application servers) except production box which is due in the next month.
The process we follow to activate BSPs is as follows:
1.Define an ICM service port in /etc/services file.
2.Add the ICM related parameters in instance profiles.
3.Make sure the ICM status is active in SMICM tx.
4.Activate the BSP services in SICF as per OSS note 571484.
Now, the question is how to configure the same ICM service and activate the BSPs since we have multiple multiple application servers.
Subsequently What I am enquirying is:
Do I need to define ICM service ports on each and every hosts where the application servers are running?
Do I need to make changes to each and every instance profile of the application server?
What are the differences in configuring ICM services on central instance and application instances?
Appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks and Regards

Grasshopper,
I think what you should really read up on is the SAP WebDispatcher. If are serious about running BSP/ICM across multiple app servers, this is the key technology:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/5cfd3b0e59774ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm This may also answer some of your questions about profile parameters.
Other than that I can share what we did. We did activate the ICM and services on all app servers and central instance. The service ports of the individual servers aren't that important now because of the WebDispatcher (at least they aren't visible to the user).
Yes we did make some of the ICM profile changes in each instance profile. If your settings are the same, consider using the default profile. Are their particular settings you are interested? I will look over ours, but I don't remember any huge differences from APP server to Central Instance.

How to configure one TREX host with multiple index servers ?

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to configure TREX on the one host,
with multiple index servers ?
Reason for this is to make better use of resources available on the host server(4 Gig, 4 Processor, Windows2003), to improve the search performance of
our KM content for portal users.
I am using TREX 7 and have not been able to do this,
despite reading the Single and Distributed install
documentation.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Andres

Hi Andres,
To make use of the RAM a Server provides you have to run two indexserver processes (each can then consume 2 GB);
Proceed like this:
1. Go to TREXdeamon.ini; check if section [indexserver2] is there (it is already provided, but not active in standard installation)
2. In TREXdeamon.ini go to
[daemon]
references sections below
programs=nameserver,preprocessor1,indexserver1,queueserver,alertserver
and add indexserver2 here. Restart TREX; second porcess is then started; can be checked in TREX monitor in Portal as well
3. To distribute existing indexes to the new process, start TREXadmintool and go to Index: Landscape
Go to the last two columns and move the indexes (move master here/secondary mouse click)
If you don't distribute the indexes the new index server process will be regarded when an new index is created.
Hope this helps!
cheers

Integrating BIP with multiple LDAP servers

Hi,
my question is very simple. In Admin->Security Configuration->Security Model section i've setted Security model combobox with LDAP value. Then i've filled all LDAP information field (for example:URL). All works. But in my rpd i 've multiple LDAP servers (multiple URL) and in the form i can insert information about only one LDAP server.
Is it possible configure BIP with multiple LDAP servers?
Thanks

SP2013: Scaling search with multiple app server

Hi Team,
I am scaling a new SP environment with multiple App Server.
I have used AutoSPINstaller to install SP2013 and Search. My search components are spread across all servers. All Search components on all servers and I have a blank publishing site as part of my content source.
My issue is when i start full/Incremental crawl. It keeps on crawling for the whole day and do not produce any crawl error neither it stops. We waited for even 2 das but the crawl kept on going on.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks Ba$va

Hi Basva ,
Follow these steps (one at the time) to reset the Content Source crawl:
Start -> Run -> Services.msc -> Restart the “SharePoint Server Search 15”.
Make sure the Application Server Administration Service Timer Job working .
Navigate to Central Administration-> Manage service application->
Search Service Application,
Reset Index and see if that fixes the problems.
Go into the Services.msc on each server and change the "RECOVERY" method of the “SharePoint Server Search 15” from "FIRST FAILURE" to "TAKE NO ACTION" so that the service did not restart before
all the servers had their "SharePoint Server Search 14" stopped.

CSM - serverfarms configured with multiple probes

Hi - If a serverfarm is configured with multiple probes, do the servers within the farm remain active if they respond positively to both probes or do they just need to respond to one of the configured probes?
Thanks in advance

Both probe must respond positively to make the server appears as OPERATIONAL.
If only one probe is responding positively then the server is considered DOWN
That is usefull for UDP test :
you need to check taht you don't have a RST when openning an UDP connection ( the UDP port is not closed) and you need to make ping (in order to be sure that there is a server ;-) )

Session cleanup issue with multiple Application servers

Hi ,
I am facing a strange problem with multiple application servers. The java Webdynro session does not get cleaned up completely when user closes the browser ( without using logoff ). On re-login it gets handle of old session and then fails for consecutive view on other webdynpro iviews with an invalid session error. It again starts working with a refresh event.
Any ideas/suggestion if you have seen something similar before ?
Thanks and regards,
Amit.

Hi Amit
It seems that issues is not server related, but caused by your client browser. I know, for example, that IE8.0 keeps user session even if two separate browser instances opened on the same client machine. IE 7.0 and lower behave differently - they are separate user sessions per browser instance.

Configure Multiple App Servers to Use Same Files from Network Share?

Application Server v10.1.2
We're currently running Oracle Forms and Reports for a legacy application. It is served up by 8 app servers who pull the files from a single file server. We are beginning to transition pieces of this application to Java; how would we configure the OC4J instances on all 8 machines to pull the Java files from the single file server? In my experience I've always just logged into each app server, gone into the OC4J instance, pointed it to my ear file and let it install(course, I only had to manage one or two servers, never 8). That doesn't seem like that would work in this distributed configuration.
Any suggestions?

You can cluster your Application Servers, and then deploy your EAR to the cluster insted of deploying the EAR on a single OC4J.
Bye,
Andrea

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Search Configuration Issue - 2 App Servers and 2 Front-End Servers

Hi,
We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 with SP1 Environment.
In that, we have 2 Front-End Servers and 2 App Servers. In the Front-End Servers, the Search Service is stopped and is in Disabled state and in the 2 App Servers in One App Server, Search is Online and in another Search is Starting but goes to Stopped sooon
after.
Originally, we had only 1 App Server and we were running our Search Service and Search Service Application in that. Now since the index location became full and we were unable to increase the drive there, we added one more App Server and now the issue is
Search is not properly getting configured in either of these App servers. What we want to do is run Search only in the new App Server, because we have a lot of storage space for Index locations here, but in the older App Server, not run Search at all. We
tried keeping the Search Service disabled and ran the below PowerShell Scripts, but none of the ones are working. These scripts are creating the Search Service Application, but the error of "Admin Component is not Online", "Could not connect
to the machine hosting SharePoint 2013 admin component" is coming up.

Hi Karthick,
For your issue, could you provide the
detail error message of ULS log to determine the exact cause of the error?
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
For troubleshooting your issue, you can try to run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard on your WFE servers and run the script for configuring the search service on SharePoint

SharePoint writer metadata information in a SharePoint farm with multiple WFE servers.

I am working on Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) framework. I know that in a 3-Tier SharePoint environment the SharePoint writer metadata on WFE server gives all the information related to that farm.
My question is -
a) How would i get all the information related to the SharePoint farm from the SharePoint writer metadata in an environment where multiple WFE servers are configured?
b) Is it possible that in a SharePoint farm where multiple WFE servers are deployed, SP writer of only one WFE server (Master/Main server) contains all the information about the respective SP farm servers in its metadata?

Hi Aaditya,
All Writer Metadata is stored in Writer Metadata Document which is produced by writer. The backup application uses the Writer Metadata document to get information about that writer, the data it owns,
and how to restore that data. Once the writer produces it, the Writer Metadata Document is a read-only document to the backup application.
The Writer Metadata Document contains three sets of data: writer identification and classification information, writer-level specifications, and component data.
For getting Writer Metadata, you can use
IVssBackupComponents::GetWriterMetadata method.
For more information, you can refer to the articles:

BW Workbook Precalculation with Multiple BW Servers

Greetings,
We have recently set up a Windows 2003 server with the BW Precalculation service. We have successfully configured the precalculation service to attach to our BW Production server and it is functioning properly. We have workbooks that are precalculated and emailed each day.
As we develop new precalculation scenarios we would like to develop and test these in our BW Development system. However, I cannot get the existing Precalculation service to connect to both our BW Development server and our BW Production server. It will either attach to our BW Production server or our BW Development server but not both.
I've tried various combinations including...
deleting all BW calculation services from SPRO in both BW systems.
logging onto the server where the BW precalc service is running.
stopping the BW precalculation service
from the server, creating the SPRO configuration in both bw servers.
restarting the precalc service.
the precalc service will then attach to one of the bw servers but not both.
Does anyone know if it's possible to have a single precalculation service handle requests from multiple BW systems? If so, could you please help me with the configuration steps?
Thanks in advance,
David Eady
Reporting Team Lead
SI Corporation

Thanks for the quick reply! I upgraded the BW precalc service to SP12 but still cannot attach the service to multiple BW instances. It will attach to one or the other but not both. Do you have any suggestions regarding the setup/configuration steps?
Thanks,
David.

Application Server slowdown with multiple proxy servers ?

Our environment has our iAS boxes talking to iWS web servers which are front-ended with iPlanet Proxy servers (Proxy 3.53 I believe). We are seeing significant slowdown if we try and hit our web apps through the proxy as opposed to going directly to the web server (bypassing the proxy servers). One of our "proxy" guys recalls hearing that there is an issue with the app server's handling of sessions if requests from the same user come in to the web server (and by extension the app server) from multiple proxy servers with different ip's. Has any body ever encountered this or does any body know if the app server has an issue handling the same sessions whose requests come from different ip addresses (different proxies)?

The proxy work with HTTP 1.0 and the webserver with HTTP 1.1.
This difference could be the cause of your problems.

Broadcasting with Multiple Application Servers

Hi, If I schedule a query broadcast to fill olap cache and I have multiple production servers which App server(s) will get the cache filled? What ever server the broadcast job runs on?
If anyone can give some insight it is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken Murray

1. If the OLAP cache is set to main memory than the OLAP Cache only gets created on the server in which it is run? So if I have 4 servers with load balancing then it is possible for the next 3 people who run the query to not benefit from the initial OLAP Cache created.
--> Next 3 people will benefit only if they log in to the same server, if cache was created in app server 1 and next 3 login to app server 2, 3 and 4 they wont hit the cache from app server 1.
2. If I change it to BLOB than any of the query runs on any server would access the initial OLAP Cache Entry that was created?
--> Yes.
3. Where is this BLOB Cached created and made available from? The DB Server or on 1 of the APP Servers?
--> DB Server
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/00/241da12ef84f40bb6ecd3ae73d8b58/content.htm
4. If SAP can make BLOB Cache available to all servers then why couldn't they make Main Memory Cache available to all servers?
Main memory is specfic to a server like how you have RAM for your PC, this is not accessible by other system. BLOB is Database and can be accessed by multiple systems.
Thanks.

Management Console with Multi App Servers (BPC 7 SP06)

Hello everyone,
I recently upgraded to BPC 7 SP06 from 5.1 and was wondering how Management Console suppose to really work...
We have multiple Application Servers running behind load balancer, so when I login to http://<loadbalancer>/ManagementConsole i could "land" on any application server. Management Console itself doesn't tell you which App Server performance counters it's pulling...
There is a setting in the webconfig: <add key="APP_Server" value="<Application Server Name>" />
Does it support multiple servers?
Also, "End Process" button to end running processes without even confirmation - can that be disabled?
Regards,
Akim

Hi Clinton,
if you have followed the installng guide of 7.5 and the 2 docs about management console, not sure if useful but you can check also if the ISS windows authentication is right, see please http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/security/authentication/windowsauthentication
Otherwise I would ask to SAP.
Regards
Roberto

Run Admin Server with multiple Managed Servers each using different userid?

We currently run separate WebLogic domain instances for each business application in a Unix environment. Each one is created using a unix userid unique to that application and which owns all the files and is used to run the process when that particular WebLogic instance is started up. We have run this way for a while.
I am considering altering our approach to the one that is recommended, i.e. in our Production environment we would run a single Admin instance with numerous managed servers. One issue I'm stuck on is the fact that in our current environment, each application has a different unix userid that owns the files making up the WebLogic domain instance and that WebLogic instance is run under that userid.
I've investigated and experimented using WebLogic 10.3 preview and WebLogic 10.0, but I haven't been able to determine what I have to do to make each managed server's files and processes belong to a different unix userid, if that is even possible.
Is there a way, using the recommended approach, where there is a single Admin instance that has multiple managed servers whose files and processes are owned by different unique, unix userids?
If not, how would you separate access to each of the Managed Servers so that the programmers who maintain them don't have access to Managed Servers that they are not responsible for?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.....

Hi:
I played with this stuff and I found that this will work, without the Location elements:
<IfModule mod_weblogic.c>
MatchExpression /app1 WebLogicHost=server1|WebLogicPort=7003
MatchExpression /app2 WebLogicHost=server2|WebLogicPort=7003
</IfModule>
Also this will work too, with no entries inside the IfModule element:
<Location /app1 >
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost server1
WebLogicPort 7003
</Location>
<Location /app2 >
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost server2
WebLogicPort 7003
</Location>

BSP MVC with multiple components approaches

Hello,
I have developed in BSP with follows MVC. The BSP application had multiple subcontroller and one main controller. I had one model for each controller,
but the models were "stored" on the level of the main
controller.
Is this the right way? Are there are other approaches?
Regards & Thanks,
Guido

Hi,
Do you mean to say that u have instantiated the subcontroller models in the main controller using the model data and assigning them to the views in ur subcontroller do_request method?If so it will work however a better approach is to instantiate one main model class (make different method in the model class to access the records from database)in the main controller and use it to assign to the view in the do_request method of the subcontroller.
Hope this helps.
Reward useful answers.
Regards,
Shrita.
